ActBlue is fucking horrible. I’d advise everyone to stay the fuck away from those assholes unless you want to get your phone blown the fuck up for the next decade or so.

I donated to Bernie’s campaign back in 2016.

Now- I’m getting HAMMERED for money from politicians in every fucking state in America now.

I wish I were joking.

I contacted them to tell them to stop and they basically tell me they can’t. It’s not them sending the info- it’s just that they sold off my info and I have to contact the individuals that are spamming me directly.

Even though they spam from phony phone numbers.

DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY. Unless you need to change your phone number.

I rest my case.

If their candidate is the only thing standing between a half-assed working system of government, and an outright dictatorship- and you don’t vote for them…

well, we see very well what happens, don’t we?

I don’t know about you, but I sure as shit am glad we dodged that “no policy having, pro-democracy” bullet, eh?

I mean… things are SO much better without that obnoxious democracy getting in the way.

Here nor there. 2024 should have been a no-brainer. And from the results…

It truly was.

How’s all that nothing you did working out for Gaza right now, bud? Happy for your decisions? No? Yeah, I get that. I see it too and it’s a huge bummer. Well…

Did your lack of effort do well for your loved ones in the LGBTQ+? No? Okay, well…

What about all the women in your life? Do you think your inaction helped them in a way you fell they deserved?

Meh..

Either way, I’m not debating this shit with you. You’re unhinged and incapable of being reasoned with.

I rest my case.

The bed is made, all we have left to do now is lie in it.

Moving forward, the best thing that can happen from this is to ensure that those that caused it see the damage they helped create so that if we ever have the opportunity again, they’ll have learned from it.

And I’ll be on this soapbox until I feel like I’ve said my fucking peace.

Block me.

Yep. They sure as shit did.

Same.

I have some gloves-off shit I need to get off my mind and I feel the time and place for it is now because I’m very angry:

So… non voters, remember when we were telling everyone that would listen to “vote blue no matter who? Remember that? Of course you do- you threw that shit back at us like it was a god damned grenade. Remember that? 

Yeah, well…. THIS is why we were saying that. 

You see, we all saw this shit coming. Which is why we were saying to plug your fucking noses and just vote. Hell.., We even tried to reason with you- suggesting that- 

“You’re not voting FOR Harris, you’re voting AGAINST fascism!”

You didn’t listen. 

Your “…but, they’re doing a genocide!” was so deeply embedded via your little edgelord wind-tunnels, that most of you began to see it as an argument to win, instead of a point to be made-

Instead of doing anything substantial to help end it.

Well. Your point was definitely made. We all have heard you loud and clear. You collectively and VERY loudly agreed that you would be fine with the outcome either way- since genocide was going to be happening no matter who you voted for, right?

I do have to ask though… 

Are you still fine with your choice? How about the memory of you, sitting on your asses and laughing at all the people rushing to voting booths in-between work and picking their kids up from daycare… How is that sitting with you? All those jokes and inflammatory remarks you hurled at the people who tried their fucking best to stop this with the only thing they have- their vote. The people, who tried to protect your sorry asses that couldn’t be bothered to even do the BARE FUCKING MINIMUM asked to protect our democracy. 

I ask you… are those jokes still funny? 

Is there any chance that any of you want to walk back all those accusations you made about everyone being sheep? What about those smug and arrogant jabs about how both sides are the same? About how democrats and republicans are somehow working together… 

care to issue a statement here? 

Because I’m pretty damned certain that NONE of this shit would be happening right now if you had listened to us when we told you that this was going to happen.

When HE fucking told you this would happen.  

And while very few people here were ever in favor of the genocide in Palestine- much to the disagreement of the few that are around that are STILL arguing against this point- we knew and know- that the pain we face at home must be resolved before we can be of any aid in the pain endured by others in theirs… Especially when most of you couldn’t have even pointed to any of those homes on a map a year ago and a half ago.

It should be noted that this is not in any way to lay the entirety of blame at the feet of the stay-at-home/its-someone-else’s-problem protestors, but the numbers are in, and while your combined lack of effort might not make up the entirety of the ninety one million registered voters that stayed home, it’s a fair guess that between you and the ones that voted third party- 

We could have avoided this.  

Roughly four to five million votes. That’s all we needed. Just four to five million of you to have listened. But your arrogance, your fucking entitlement- wouldn’t let this happen. 

So now here we are. With this shit. This tyrant king and his pet tech-gremlin, stripping away our rights hour by hour, day by day. And while dealing with this shit, I as an American, have to carry on hour by hour, day by day- being tossed into the same bucked with you. 

I have to shoulder the blame right along side you. And it’s not fucking fair. I did my part. I voted. I canvased, I shouted from the fucking rooftops. 

But I’ll digress…

I sincerely hope that high road you thought you were taking lands you all right to where it seems the rest of us are going…. 

Because no one deserves it more.

They’re full of shit. Don’t listen to them.

Probably untrue.

Trump.

That this even says “most” shows how truly fucked we are.

You said "leftists" (meaning me, derogatorily) strangely compare themselves to the Nazi party.

I said nothing even remotely close to this. In fact- YOU brought up Nazis, not me. I was simply saying that “the left” in America- by definition are democrats and liberals, and I proved it.

And:

So get the fuck out with your red scare bullshit

Really? Red scare bullshit? Dude, what’s with the persecution complex?? I haven’t said shit about you, and here you are playing victim- twice over, to some imaginary accusations I’ve made. Fo ahead and re-read through this discussion and point out to me exactly where I ever made an assumption of you- and while you’re at it- note how quick you are with the presumptive accusations. Or wait….

was this not you?

you and the Democrats aren't even left

Looks like a direct accusation to me! Weird how you’re the one protesting. It makes methinks something or another….

Seriously though… maybe think about taking a step back and chilling out a bit.

I haven’t once said a single thing about you personally. I don’t know you. And from this conversation alone, I honesty don’t care to.

And whether or not it was or wasn’t whataboutism is entirely irrelevant to the point that the whole Nazi bit was a shit argument to begin with. So, how about you tell me what logical fallacy it was and then we can hang that sign on it instead?

Would that make you feel better?

Walk it off.

When did I use whataboutism?

When you used republicans being Nazis as an example to illustrate some dumb point about democrats calling themselves the left- despite the fact that they’ve been called the left since they’ve existed.

When did I compare myself to the Nazi party?

When did I say you did?

I am left of the Democratic Party on every issue

Cool. But if you’re disassociating with democrats, maybe think about picking a new name. Because when I- and I’m certain many others, hear “the left”, we appropriately think democrat/liberal, and not progressivist, socialist, tankie, or communist- as many in these groups liken themselves as.

So if you're saying I'm not left but the Democrats are

Yes. That is what I am saying. If you’re not a liberal/democrat, you’re not “the left” by commonly accepted definition.

As for the remaining rhetoric, it is funny how I use my subtle variations on names, isn’t it?

I mean… We all see how kindly the lemmy “progressives” treat everyone here that is perceived to be even remotely right of Stalin.

Maybe when you are seen standing up to your fellow progressives when they use terms like “libtard” and “bluemaga” and shouting them down like think you’re doing here, you can finally earn that high road you seem to feel you are owned. Until then, enjoy living it up in the slums like the rest of us.

Turns out when “leftists” are proven wrong, they resort to whataboutism, and strangely compare themselves to the Nazi party.

Oh, and by the way, remember what I said you aren’t the left?

Turns out you can't trust a group's self-applied label to accurately describe what they stand for in perpetuity.
